To take a screenshot in Windows 10 or 11, there are a few ways. These ways include:

  • Pressing the "Print Screen" button
  • Using Windows+Shift+S 

Method 1: Using the Print Screen button

The Print Screen button will take a screenshot of your entire computer screen.

  1. Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. It may be spelled as "PrtSc", and you may have to press the "Fn" key to access it.
  2. You can now paste the screenshot into a document. To save it to a file, open Paint, then paste the screenshot in there.

Method 2: Using Win+Shift+S (Snip and Sketch)

Snip and Sketch is known as Snipping Tool in Windows 11.

  1. Press the Windows, Shift and S keys simultaneously. If done correctly, you will see something like this. You can click the buttons on the top to change the snipping mode. The modes are in this order: Rectangular Snip, Free-form Snip, Window Snip and Full Screen Snip. We will be using Rectangular Snip for this tutorial.
  2. Click and drag your mouse over what you want to screenshot. For example, to take a screenshot of the Discord logo, you would drag your mouse between these two points.
  3. After dragging your mouse over whatever you want to screenshot, a notification will pop up saying "Snip saved to clipboard". At this point, you can paste the screenshot into a document.
  4. If you want to save the screenshot to a file or draw on it, click on the notification to open the "Snip and Sketch" window. From there, you can start a new snip, draw on the image, save it to a file or copy it.
